You will see that many of the tips and procedures used are universal for skill sets "every mechanic should know" and that the biggest value to my videos is the teaching of these skills that are not found in a service manual.
I often get asked this question:
Q: How does one learn these skill sets "every mechanic should know" if they are not found in a manual?
A: NUMBER 1.....GET DIRTY and start wrenching.
-Ask questions
-Find a seasoned craftsman to mentor under
-Tech schools can significantly speed this time up
-Research, read, watch KZfaq videos
Tip: You will never learn it all from one source or in a short time period. No matter what craft you are trying to master, YOU must be dedicated and put the time in. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO LEARN THAN DOING! I will say it again, you must actually do the work to master it. You cannot just watch or read about it and master anything.
You want to be a master bike builder, mechanic, welder, nurse, carpenter or you fill in the blank?
-Don't take for granted opportunities to learn deeper
-Be humble and seek advice
-Be intentional with your learning plan
-Don't blame a school, job or your parents for not giving you ever answer, go get it!
I teach a motorcycle/powersports technician program at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City, Iowa. These videos are used for review of labs for students and creating a deeper understanding of the lesson/skill set. As there is often more than one way of doing something, may you enjoy this free information as much as our students do in person. PLEASE HIRE OUR GRADUATES!
If you would like more info on the program feel free to contact me @ 712-274-8733 ext 1204 or email shane.conley@witcc.edu

i dont ever type to people on line but watching your videos on fixing harleys are the best explained ways of the right ways of installing parts the right way. if i could go to school to learn how to be a bike mech. it would be you i would want to teach me!!!!! thanks for your videos

I was a harley tech for 9 years. I had on the job training. All techs should have formal training at a accredited school. I made so many mistakes because I didn't have a firm foundation for repairing motorcycle. Good work. You cover the do's and don't's of repairing bike. I salute you.

On really critical places to 'count on' threadlockers---such as the bearing anti-walk out plate....a small drop of threadlocker under the head, clean and dry of course will help hold the fasteners also. While it also may protect the threaded sections of the use of the threadlocker from oils, etc. ingress. Sort of an insurance policy.

they did,and then they put the bearing support plate back on before pressing the cams back in.so why would you need to even remove the support plate to press cams out.

Shane , I have a 05 road king and my support plate does not have the oil hole that you point to in this video or the plug for clean out ... is there a reason for this? A little help please. Thanks Mike allen

@getoffmygrass6974 3 жыл бұрын

The difference is the two style engines 88a & 88b. (B) is for balancer, which is in the softail engines and is a solid mount engine, that extra oil hole feeds the balancer chain in the crankcase. Your RK is a rubber mount engine (a) and does not have a balancer in the crankcase so that oil hole is not required. I'm sure you have this figured out by now but hopefully it'll help those in the future if need be.

Hey there awesome human (we hope so anyway 😁) I’m an intern here at The How 2 Wrench training center. I’m trying hard to learn each day and answer questions as I learn them. This one is beyond my scope yet and to not short you, it’s a great one for Shane directly. Believe me, I will be paying attention to the answer too as a fellow learner! Shane tries to devote one day a week for time to answer non-member quick questions from fans but the demand is insane 300-400 requests a week! Hang tight and maybe you get lucky he gets to circle back quick. If it’s an emergency and your head is about to explode from frustration or fear? Get Shane’s cell here: how2wrench.com/ols/products/techline-one-on-one As I’m sure you can understand as a working person, life has bills and we have to work first and play later. Due to the overwhelming inbox we are focused on fulfilling Techline and fan member requests. If you need immediate help you can get his cell directly with an order. We thinks that’s an amazing relationship for both and keeps the lights on. Bruce Social Media Manger
